Quite a beautiful knife, Ike, I have not seen that release before. ::tu::

But there's a lot I haven't seen in the knife world.

Your suggestion brings up a question that I have heard amswered both ways.........are all electricians knives, specifically pre 1945, considered to be TL29s?
I have a Miller Bros with the SC USA shield, and I would say yes on that one. Others, with no markings.... ::hmm::

Thank you for the comments, Skip and Joe.

Very nice R4548 you posted Ike!! You asked about the TL-29 ? Not all electricians/ radio knives are TL-29s . The Technician lineman’s 29 is a military spec’D piece! So many are called TL -29 when they are not technically so . There’s a spec sheet in the Camillus section somewhere if anybody really cares to read it . If you get time and feel up to it how about some pics of the Miller brothers knife ??

I don't know if I will feel up to it or not, buddy, I'm pretty comfortable sitting here eating cookies and drinking coffee.

I have posted it somewhere in the past, but I don't know where. I will put it in here in a little while. It is a little rough, I bought it at the very first knife show I ever attended, many years ago.

Edit: thanks for pointing me to the TL29 info
